Hi, For some reason, many of my tools in illustrator are blocked and can't be used, 

such as the scale tool, lasso tool, scissor tool and such. I was wondering if I could get some help with that.

You are customizing the toolsbar?

Just go to Window > Tools > Advanced and you should be good.

Hi there,

 

Thanks for reaching out. Monika is right, Illustrator has a customizable toolbar due to which sometimes tools get hidden. If the Advanced toolbar is already selected, simply try resetting it by clicking 3 dots at the bottom of the toolbar.

                                    

Let us know if this helps or if you have any further questions.

 

 

Regards,

Srishti
